Some Martyrs are known because their presences are so towering, so gigantic, that no world, dimension or universe can hold their achievements, goodness and importance–like Hajj “Redwan” Imad Mughniyeh (R.A.) or Hajj Moustafa “Sayyed Zulfiqar” Badreddine (R.A.) Others are known because they went out in blazes of glory unlike anything before them or after them–like Ali “Bilal” Saleh (R.A.), the Merkava Myth Destroyer, or Hussnayn al-Sa’adi (R.A.), the Human Gun Turret. There are those whose departures leave a void in the planet’s flow of knowledge, because what flowed from their blessed minds was of unparalleled rank–like Ayatollah Dr. Sayyed Muhammad Hosseini Beheshti (R.A.) Then there are some who just hit you on a personal level… Right in the heart… Because not only do they possess all of the aforesaid qualities in one form or another, there is also the fact that the beginnings they rose from were so humble… That you can’t help but feel humbled yourself just by virtue of knowing who they are and how they ascended. One such Shahid is Gholamhosayn Afshordi, better known as Major General Hassan Bagheri (R.A.), a pioneer, commander and founding father of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) who was martyred on this day 36 years ago.

It was the barrage of missiles heard ’round the world. Four years ago today, ‘Israel’, the occupier of Palestine and sections of Lebanon, Syria and Saudi-controlled Arabia (Tiran and Sanafir), breached Lebanese and Syrian airspace to then attack Mazraat Amal in Quneitra, part of Syria’s Golan Heights. The targets were two cars carrying Muhammad “Abou Issa” Issa (R.A.), Jihad “Jawad” Mughniyeh (R.A.), “Sayyed Abbas” Hijazi (R.A.), “Kazem” Abou al-Hassan (R.A.), “Daniel” Ghazi Ali Dawi (R.A.), “Ihab” Ali Hassan Ibrahim (R.A.) and Muhammad Ali Allahdadi (R.A.) Six Hizbullah moujahideen, including one of the most senior commanders of the Mouqawamah along with the son of Hajj Imad Mughiyeh (R.A.), and a Brigadier General of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. While Abou Issa, Jawad and the IRGC top tiger had indeed participated in fighting the Takfiri terrorist scourge before this cowardly assassination by the Zionists, having been stationed in Homs, Damascus and Aleppo respectively, that wasn’t their main mission. Al-Jaulan was.

A most ominous crime was committed on this day 41 years ago as Ayatollah Sayyed Hajj Mostafa Khomeini (R.A.), the oldest son of Imam Ruhollah Khomeini (R.A.) and a behemoth-like Islamic mind, presence and authority who achieved the rank of mujtahid at just 27 years old, departed this world at the tender age of 47. To this moment, the Zionist media–we’re talking about all the heavy hitters from the NYT and WaPo to wire services like Reuters and AP–peddle the lie that it was “natural causes”. UPI says it was a “car accident”. Newsweek just says he was visited by “two strangers” and then passed under “mysterious circumstances”. But we’re here to stick a fork in these fallacies and call a spade a spade, or rather, a murder a murder: Ayatollah Sayyed Mostafa Khomeini (R.A.) was assassinated in a cold blood by a Mossad-assisted SAVAK hit squad. Nothing “accidental” or “natural” or “mysterious” about it. The usurping Zionist entity’s foreign intelligence service had long been tracking Sayyed Mostafa as well as his brother Sayyed Ahmed (R.A.) ever since they were in Lebanon training alongside PLO guerillas and Sayyed Moussa al-Sadr’s righteous militiamen before ultimately winding up in Turkey then later Iraq to assist their father with the furtherance of the Islamic Revolution whilst he was in exile.

When a nation is taught by giants, its only destiny is to tower over its enemies. Iran, in the age of Imam Khomeini’s (R.A.) Islamic Revolution, is such a nation. And Ayatollah Ata’ollah Ashrafi Esfahani (R.A.) was such a giant. Martyred on this day 36 years ago at the elderly age of 80 by MEK terrorists, Esfahani possessed an intellect rarely seen before or since, a love of Islam rivaled only by Sayyed Ruhollah (R.A.) himself and a commitment to not merely resisting Dajjal but prevailing over it and leaving its corrupt, degenerate, hegemonic system in the dust–qualities that inspired generations on top of generations.

It is said that the blood of Abou Zar al-Ghiffari (R.A.) flowed through his ancestors who came to Kermanshah–where he made his home–from Bilad al-Sham’s Jabal Amel, the land that wrote the book on mouqawamah and mumana’a. He was one of the first–if not **THE** first–to call for Imam Khomeini (R.A.) to be made Grand Marja’ in the wake of Ayatollah Sayyed Hossein Borujerdi’s death. Esfahani always said that nobody could be compared to Khomeini (R.A.) and the Imam referred to Esfahani as the “base” and the “spine” of the revolutionary movement in Kermanshah.

This is why Iran is victorious; why we call the Islamic Republic our Magnetic North; and why Imam Khamenei is who we’d follow into the hell-flames if it meant justice for the Moustazafeen would be secured. Pictured here is Major General Habibollah Sayyari, the Coordinating Deputy of the Artesh (Iranian Armed Forces) who also holds the rank of Rear Admiral and formerly commanded both the Iranian Navy and the Iranian Marine Corps, going on live TV to kiss the hands of Moujtaba Muhammadi, the Artesh soldier who saved numerous lives during the US-‘Israeli’-Saudi-Emirati terrorist attack in Ahvaz that murdered and wounded dozens of innocents.

Muhammadi rushed many children and women to safety while also stopping the bleeding of several IRGC commandos who were shot by the ASMLA and ADPF mercenaries. A hero in every sense. That one of the highest ranking military men in the whole of the Iranian security establishment, not to mention a moujahid of the highest order who was instrumental in preventing the fall of the Islamic Revolution during the Imposed War, bows his head and engages in such a gesture towards a soldier of regular rank that diffidently viewed his dauntless actions as merely doing his job in a crisis, is a display of the synergy between the brass and the rank-and-file; the brotherhood that bonds them; and the commitment to Islam that all of Iran’s guardians have, regardless of titles or medals.
